WORD Research this...James 2
- 1 My brethren, you must not make distinctions between one man and another while you are striving to maintain faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, who is our glory.
- 2 For suppose a man comes into one of your meetings wearing gold rings and fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man wearing shabby clothes,
- 3 and you pay court to the one who wears the fine clothes, and say, "Sit here; this is a good place;" while to the poor man you say, "Stand there, or sit on the floor at my feet;"
- 4 is it not plain that in your hearts you have little faith, seeing that you have become judges full of wrong thoughts?
- 5 Listen, my dearly-loved brethren. Has not God chosen those whom the world regards as poor to be rich in faith and heirs of the Kingdom which He has promised to those that love Him?
- 6 But *you* have put dishonour upon the poor man. Yet is it not the rich who grind you down? Are not they the very people who drag you into the Law courts? --
- 7 and the very people who speak evil of the noble Name by which you are called?
-
8 If, however, you are keeping the Law as supreme, in obedience to the Commandment which says
"You are to love your fellow man just as you love yourself," - 9 But if you are making distinctions between one man and another, you are guilty of sin, and are convicted by the Law as offenders.
- 10 A man who has kept the Law as a whole, but has failed to keep some one command, has become guilty of violating all.
-
11 For He who said,
"Do not commit adultery,""Do not commit murder," - 12 Speak and act as those should who are expecting to be judged by the Law of freedom.
- 13 For he who shows no mercy will have judgement given against him without mercy; but mercy triumphs over judgement.
- 14 What good is it, my brethren, if a man professes to have faith, and yet his actions do not correspond? Can such faith save him?
- 15 Suppose a Christian brother or sister is poorly clad or lacks daily food,
- 16 and one of you says to them, "I wish you well; keep yourselves warm and well fed," and yet you do not give them what they need; what is the use of that?
- 17 So also faith, if it is unaccompanied by obedience, has no life in it--so long as it stands alone.
- 18 Nay, some one will say, "You have faith, I have actions: prove to me your faith apart from corresponding actions and I will prove mine to you by my actions.
- 19 You believe that God is one, and you are quite right: evil spirits also believe this, and shudder."
- 20 But, idle boaster, are you willing to be taught how it is that faith apart from obedience is worthless? Take the case of Abraham our forefather.
- 21 Was it, or was it not, because of his actions that he was declared to be righteous as the result of his having offered up his son Isaac upon the altar?
- 22 You notice that his faith was co-operating with his actions, and that by his actions his faith was perfected;
-
23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says,
"And Abraham believed God, and his faith was placed to his credit as righteousness," - 24 You all see that it is because of actions that a man is pronounced righteous, and not simply because of faith.
- 25 In the same way also was not the notorious sinner Rahab declared to be righteous because of her actions when she welcomed the spies and hurriedly helped them to escape another way?
- 26 For just as a human body without a spirit is lifeless, so also faith is lifeless if it is unaccompanied by obedience.

Basic Hash Usage Explained
At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.
We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.
Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.
Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.
Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.
The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.
We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.
Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
